It had never really occurred to me what the mechanics of plagiarism looked like. When I have used Turnitin before I was more concerned with identifying potential lack of attribution, not what it might represent categorically. This article from Plagiarism Today succeeds in breaking down not only what the major types of plagiarism are, but also what types are considered to be the most worrisome to educators. I don't think that if asked, I would be able to decide the severity of one over the other, as the author states, it all comes down to copy and paste in the end anyway.
This is a very informative article. I hope you find it as enlightening as I did.
